Which site do you use for looking at censuses?

Why should he have had siblings?

when i was able to access the 1911 census i found the correct one which i was looking for harry george born 1900 that gave parents names of harry and susan
i then done a free bmd search for harry and susan's marriage
i then found harry and susan's marriage on familysearch.org given father's names as william s winchester and joseph cooper
william was then given as william samuel on free bmd and familysearch which gave his his parents as george and amy winchester
have not found a marriage for george and amy as of yet
